FLASH: Using Flash to detect Flash Plugin Ver

[Devin Rader]

Hey all! Is it possible to have a Flash movie tell the user what version of

Flash they have.  I know that I can use the $version variable, but this only

works in 4 or > and I was hoping to find a solution that would work for F3

and greater.  Also, I know I can use JavaScript to do the detection and we

are already using Browser Hawk to perform an initial sniff of the user, but

this is not 100% reliable and I wanted to create a movie that would give

those users that the sniffer can not determine some feedback as to what

version of Flash Player they have.


Any suggestions?? Thanks!!
